A Thibodaux man is accused of switching price tags on fishing gear in Wal-Mart.

Clint Ambrose, 39, 919 Serenity Drive, took the more expensive UPC codes off the rods he purchased and replaced them with those from two lower-cost labels at the Thibodaux Wal-Mart, 410 N. Canal Blvd., police said.

Ambrose was still in the store when officers arrived, and he admitted to the switch, police said. He was ticketed.
